Data Tables at Fogler Library

The Landolt-Börnstein collection (Zahlenwerte und Funktionen aus Physik, Chemie, Astronomie, Geophysik und Technik) includes crystal data under several broad umbrellas, including:

6th ed., vol. I/4: Crystals in Reference, QC 61 .L33
New Series, vol. III: Condensed Matter in Reference, QC 61 .L332.

For crystallographic data on specific substances, start by searching for the substance in the Landolt-Börnstein collection in SpringerMaterials to identify the appropriate volume & subvolume.
